Now that I have finished our forever home, I am now having a clearout of
my garage.
There is a vast range of tools, power tools and DiY materials to sell on
as I will either no longer use the tools concerned or use up whats left
of the DiY materials
Examples a
water cooled electric tile saw
Table top circular saw
Large angle grinder
Small angle grinder
That kind of stuff I have been able to sell on ebay ok.
These are harder. You might be able ebay the hand tools as a job lot,
although the chisels can attract decent prices especially if you have
anything a bit unusual like a paring chisel or skew chisel. Step ladders
might attract the collect only buyers.
Various step ladders
allen key sets
Torx key sets
Extra long screwdriver
Wood Chisels
and
Box of carpet gripper rods
Chrome Window casement stays
10 packs of double gang switched twin sockets
plastic waste pipe
boxes of fuses
boxes of screws
Stuff to give away on freecycle / faceache local etc!
I've already tried Ebay..... Too much hassle, have to weigh and estimate
postage & packing, pay commission, risk of getting low wining bids and
some stuff just too impractical or not cost effective to put in the post.
IME not too bad if you set a starting price that makes it worthwhile.
Use one of the integrated courier services like parcel2go. Also do a
bunch of things that end at the same time, so you get all the deliveries
collected together.
I've also tried car booting. People seem to want something for nothing.
a manual Stanley wood plane brand new in box attracted an offer of £2!
Those can do well on ebay - especially if its a older one.
I'vce had mixed results selling on at work, the ones that do sell get
the prices I am asking for them but no interest in the rest.
I have yet to try Gumtree....
I did wonder if people on this NG would actually be interested? The
location is Northamptonshire.
